Danielle Young boldly tells stories with heart, sass and humor. She peppers her writing with her larger-than-life personality, sharing her hilarious thoughts on pop culture, lifestyle topics and anything that affects Black women. Danielle loves words and strings them together to create multimedia content that will tug at your heart strings or give you belly-hurting laughs. Give her iced chai lattes, cheese and Netflix so she knows it&apos;s real. Danielle is pretty, witty, girl, worldly. She&apos;s one who likes to party, but comes home early. @rhapsodani

HelloBeautiful.com’s “Base Level”column features the hottest new artists we’re buzzing about. Before they make it to the summit of superstardom, we spot them at base level–the beginning of their hopeful journey to the top.

If you were a lovechild of any artist, dead or alive, who would they be? Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight, Patti LaBelle and Al Green! My name would have been, “Gladys Sunshine LaBelle Wonder Green” Is that too weird?!

What is the celeb advice you’ll never forget? Rahsaan Patterson told me backstage, after our show at Centerstage in Atlanta, “When someone tells you what YOUR art should sound or look like, it’s no longer YOUR art. It’s THEIRS.”
